An opportunity to hear the author of a
deeply moving
and powerful true story
Thursday 2nd October 7pm Church of the Annunciation
NOBODY COMES
‘Nobody Comes’ is the true story of
the (ultimately successful) endeavour to find, bring to England and adopt a
child from an ‘orphanage in post-revolutionary Romania despite the unhelpful
and sometimes obstructive attitude of both the UK and the Romanian authorities.
The author describes the horrors of
Orphanage Number One in Bucharest , the poverty
he encountered and the endemic corruption which he faced on a daily basis and
his struggle to raise awareness both in Romania
and the UK
The book also recounts the
remarkable friendship which was forged with a Bucharest University graduate who
became interpreter, guide and, ultimately, Godfather to Dominic, the child who
was rescued. The priest who baptised Dominic, Father Frank Flynn, is now
serving in Chesterfield.
The author, His Honour Judge Anthony
Cleary, will be giving an illustrated talk at the Church of the Annunciation, Spencer Street, on Thursday 2nd
October at 7.00pm.
This is an open
event and all are welcome.
